King of the Hammers 2026

There is a saying that is very true within our family, "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys".

For the third time, Steve and at least one son, have attended an amazing desert extravaganza. After the first year, Steve had to get himself a Jeep, not to participate in the race, but to better spectate.
Steve is very proud of his 'set up'. He is not one who suffers for his art. Our camper has all the creature comforts and more.
And where was this cool RV taking my men? They were heading to the desert for Two Decades of Dominance: King of the Hammers 2026 – The 20th Anniversary Edition!
"Every year, the barren landscape of the desert transforms into the ultimate proving ground for off-road warriors. What started as a small, high-stakes competition has evolved into a globally renowned off-road phenomenon. King of the Hammers seamlessly merges the thrill of high-speed desert racing with the technical mastery of rock crawling, pushing drivers beyond their limits and bringing together an impassioned community of enthusiasts."








Here they are in Hammertown. For two wild weeks every year, the dry lakebed of Johnson Valley transforms into something unreal — a full-blown, off-grid city in the middle of the California desert. They call it Hammertown, and it's the beating heart of King of the Hammers.



Love this parking job!
This was their campsite.
As the sun sets, the event gets more magical and the drivers get more crazy!

Steve said that this Rock Crawl race has to be seen to fully grasp its wonderment.
Evenings offer something for everyone including concerts. Sublime headlined. The concert was part of the entertainment lineup for the event, which attracts over 100,000 spectators and racers.

My boys arrived home with a giddiness that I rarely see. I love this!
